March 1539). Edmund Layfield married (at Kirkby Lonsdale, 2nd July 1542) Jenet
Harling. These events may not necessarily relate to the same Edmund, who could
have been father and son. After a lengthy gap Edmund had the following children
baptised at Kirkby Lonsdale, whose mother was not necessarily Jenet:

[LAYF591] Edward

Lonsdale, 19th February 1586-87) --- [name
omitted in register].
They had thirteen children baptised at Kirkby
Lonsdale as follows:

With the exception of the name John, no name isrepeated. This suggests they were all children of the same Edward,
though not necessarily by the wife he married in 1587.
